This is the start of a new idea that needs to sweep through the world, that’s no bullying. Essex High school has made a leap forward that will follow a list of changes to the learning environment. What we have seen today is that EHS students have a voice. This voice is being used. Thanks for everyone who organized the EHS Sit-in and made it possible, it won’t stop here and today we saw that it got better.
I went to the Sit in i am a student who helped organize this event and for this coming from students it means a lot we hope that this event is the start of something we believe in and it can carry on for time and time again. It was a protest that was peaceful and was productive it cried out against bullying and homophobia.
